How MHD can explain the “difficult to explain” no sonic boom of UAP
US ex-intelligence director John Ratcliffe while discussing UAP said, “…frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain, movements that are hard to replicate, that we don’t have the technology for…Or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.” quoted from a Guardian article.

The Nimitz incident also has been documented to potentially demonstrate a craft traveling faster than the speed of sound without breaking the sound barrier. Below is a post on the Nimitz event if you’re not familiar or need to brush up on it.

Simply put, based on numerous reports including those still classified we have good reason to believe we are seeing objects break the sound barrier without creating a sonic boom and this baffles us.
However, there is a scientifically feasible way to do this using what is known as magnetohydrodynamics or MHD. Some of you may remember my patent post detailing how MHD could be used in conjunction with compact fusion reactors to create craft that fly with no observable conventional method of propulsion (wings, propellers, heat.)

TLDR;
One of the DIRD’s clearly states that MHD propulsion systems are not only feasible and capable of performance beyond conventional craft, but the use of a fusion reactor as an electricity source dramatically increases the application. It goes so far as to say it likely will “become the standard” in space.
Further in it says, “These nations have the capability to develop such novel technologies within several years and deploying those technologies perhaps within 10 years.” This document was published in 2010. So it predicts China, Russia and/or Japan could deploy this by 2020.
It also mentions MHD can in fact reduce sonic boom and some Russian scientists have claimed there is an unknown physical mechanism that can also reduce sonic boom.
Additionally I have found other work by a French engineer named Jean-Pierre Petit supporting the use of MHD to potentially remove sonic boom he did going back to 1965. He has multiple papers published on removing shockwaves using MHD and himself points out the “obvious” connection to UFO’s and that MHD machines would be silent and surrounded by bright plasma.
MHD in one of the DIRD’s
I’ve heard knowledgeable people I respect declare what has been observed is technology 1000 years ahead of ours and I want to explain how short sighted that comment is. Much of the “difficult to explain” observations are definitely explainable with technology that is very advanced, but not as far out as you may think.
For those of you that don’t know about the Defense Intelligence Report Documents (DIRD’s) they were written in 2009 by leaders in their respective fields and commissioned under AAWSAP (predecessor to AATIP) apparently to highlight where our technology would be in about 50 years. Here is a link in searchable format to the DIRD on MHD titled “MHD Air Breathing Propulsion and Power for Aerospace Applications”

That link scrambles a lot of the words unfortunately so here is another link in picture format that is easer to read, but can’t be searched.

The paper strongly supports my first post on MHD that I linked in the beginning of this post. Below is the summary:
“The paper reviews novel propulsion concepts utilizing plasmas (ionized gases) and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). These concepts are shown to be attractive due to their potential to achieve propulsion and aerodynamic performance far beyond current conventional technologies. However, significant difficulties impede the development and application of these technologies; these include weight, complexity, higher power, and the need for complex and energy-consuming artificial ionization in “cold” air (at Mach <12).
A well-publicized Ajax concept of MHD energy bypass has been shown to be meaningless below at least Mach 12. In contrast, a new “reverse energy bypass” with Virtual Cowl is potentially practical for air breathing hypersonic vehicles.
Applications of the Virtual Cowl and other plasma/MHD devices to reentry, global-strike hypersonic gliders, and aeroassisted orbital maneuvering are identified as promising in the near future. The ability of a plasma/ MHD system to generate high power onboard and to provide L/D (lift-to-drag ratio) far beyond that possible conventionally makes these applications both feasible and desirable for national defense. However,these applications are also likely to be implemented by nations such as China, Japan, and Russia.
The outlook for uses and applications of MHD propulsion could increase dramatically if high-speed (hypersonic) vehicles begin to carry powerful onboard electricity sources, such as nuclear (fission or fusion) reactors.
For spacecraft, the current trend of replacing chemical rockets with electric propulsion systems will continue and is likely to become the standard*. Electric systems can provide a much wider range of operation (e.g., low-thrust fine positioning/pointing, more frequent or nontraditional maneuvers, and longer times on station) than chemical systems can. “*
Just in the summary alone it is clear that MHD propulsion systems are not only feasible and capable of performance beyond conventional craft, but the use of a fusion reactor as an electricity source dramatically increases the application. It goes so far as to say it likely will “become the standard” in space.
Further in it says, “These nations have the capability to develop such novel technologies within several years and deploying those technologies perhaps within 10 years.” This document was published in 2010. So it predicts China, Russia and/or Japan could deploy this by 2020.
It goes on to cover “plasma for drag reduction” to “weaken the bow shock.” This by definition is reducing sonic boom. It doesn’t go so far as to say it can completely remove sonic boom, but it notes that 10–15 years ago some Russian scientists claimed there was a way to weaken bow shock via some unknown physical mechanism.
Other work on MHD and removing sonic boom
I have found other work by a French engineer named Jean-Pierre Petit supporting the use of MHD to potentially remove sonic boom he did going back to 1965. His wiki says he’s an engineer, but his youtube says he’s a plasma physicist and astrophysicist. He claims to have papers published, and I’ve found few with his name in those fields. Below is one on “shock-wave annihilation by MHD action” from 1989 that looks relevant. (I have only skimmed it as of writing this)
https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-03433636/document
His youtube and website are in French, but he has subtitles and google translate. It appears he has his own cosmological model, but I won’t be digging into that in this post. He also appears to have some affiliation with the UMMO events, but I won’t be covering that here either. Suffice it to say he is very into the topic of UFO’s and aliens. Below is a link to one of his videos on MHD to describe UAP and I will attempt to summarize it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56fGzcp6bIU
He says his work on MHD started in 1965 at Marseille Institute of fluid mechanics while studying energy production via MHD using a plasma gun. He says the attempt to develop this technology was a failure despite significant resources by Russian scientists. He says some technical limitations from the temperatures caused the work to be discontinued in the 70’s. He explains his experiments in France were like no other in the world because he improved the efficiency with his small setup and only did short bursts. They observed the generator slowing down the plasma to the point of creating show waves. He says his lab was the only place where this effect could be produced. From here he got the idea to place a wing in the model and see if they could use the electromagnetic fields to prevent shockwaves from occurring around the object. He published a paper about it in 1975. “The underlying theoretical concept is gradually detailed, that shows the possibility of supersonic fluid mechanics without shockwaves, thanks to an active flow control by an electromagnetic force field. MHD, which prevents Mach waves to collide, makes shockwaves disappear.” They tried in the 80’s to experimentally demonstrate one can make shockwaves disappear (no sonic boom) but they didn’t have the means to carry out the experiment. He goes on to explain how this can also be done in saltwater. He says MHD has been shown to reduce turbulent wake as early as 1976 in cylindrical and spherical objects. He starts to point out the connection to UFO’s and silent flight. He says MHD machines are surrounded by bright plasma. “When they are equipped with electrodes, the increased brightness in their surroundings makes them appear like portholes.” The shapes of such devices, called “MHD aerodynes,” are determined by the laws of plasma physics with strong applied magnetic fields. They no longer have anything to do with the shapes of conventional flying machines, which are governed by classical laws of fluid mechanics. He explains such craft would appear absurd and shows a 1980 experiment of a discoidal induction aerodyne controlled with microwaves that looks a lot like some reported UFO’s.
MHD experiment that replicates some reported UFO’s
He goes on to mention a PHD thesis on shockwave suppression that was defended in 1988 that presents all theoretical elements to cancel shockwaves with electromagnetic forces.
https://www-theses-fr.translate.goog/1989POIT2279?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc
He goes on to say that some spinning aerodyne concepts were experimentally confirmed in the 80’s. He starts to get into the technicals of why this is important and my best understanding is that it creates stability. Below is his entire paper on it published in a Polish journal.
http://przyrbwn.icm.edu.pl/APP/PDF/115/a115z672.pdf
He explains that by the 1980’s the experimental set up required to confirm the now more rigorous theories using MHD to cancel shockwaves (no sonic boom) was already dismantled. A new lab needed to be built and he laments that it never happened implying innovation is difficult in France. MHD was completely abandoned in France at that time. He then points out that in 2018 Putin presented new strategic weapons including Avangard hypersonic glider that travels at Mach 30. He claims such a feat is impossible without MHD protection against shockwaves because they would burn in the air. He starts to get into technical stuff about how it would work I’m going to skip. Some of it founds very much like the DIRD paper. He speculates if the Russians figured it out by taking claims of UFO sightings seriously and attempting to retro-engineer them.
He then goes into his theory that MHD could somehow create negative mass, but he loses me because I don’t know how he makes that jump. He explains how negative mass can be used for interstellar travel, which is true. I’m too tired to try to follow him at this point.
The community needs to ask more (different) questions
I see so many people speculating how to explain UAP, but I never hear anybody talking about these concepts. Nobody has ever asked Lue Elizondo or Christopher Mellon if these ideas above are plausible explanations. Where are the pop physicists to help us imagine how some advanced technology might explain UAP? I haven’t seen anybody else do deep dives into the DIRD’s to find more knowledgeable questions to ask. Please read the DIRD’s.
One of the DIRD’s written by Hal Puthoff covers Ken Shoulder’s work on Exotic Vacuum Objects (EVO’s.) I have posted on here before a deep dive into Ken’s work on EVO’s and revealed that Puthoff worked closely with Shoulder’s on the subject. Why is nobody asking Puthoff about this?
One of the recently published DIRDS, Concepts For Extracting Energy From The Quantum Vacuum, covers EVO’s and concludes that “topic is ideal to pursue for further research.”
https://www.reddit.com/r/observingtheanomaly/comments/tm023c/ken_shoulders_evos_mentioned_in_dird_extracting/
Ken shared his discovery with Richard Feynman who initially refused to believe him, but I found a letter from Feynman to Shoulders in which he apologizes and admits that it’s real.
I have pointed out that the work of Salvatore Pais is only mysterious because he apparently can’t disclose how to create such high energy densities (but assures us it’s possible) and that Shoulder’s work on EVO’s very well could be the missing link.
My point is we may have the ability to explain these things if we do a better job at asking more science based questions and start thinking more outside the box.
If you like my research please follow me on Medium as there is much more to come.
